Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates of the North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. After practicing for so many years, I have seen many denture-wearing patients and they come in with similar problems. Most patients are using dental adhesive today, which has been determined, if it has zinc in it, to be unhealthy for you, so there are zinc-free options to be utilized as well.
Other options available to you are the use of dental implants using conventional implants or mini dental implants to help stabilize dentures to make them comfortable and retentive in your mouth so you don’t have to use dental adhesive anymore and even getting rid of dentures altogether and making fixed bridges that are permanent with the use of dental implants as well.
